i know...really, i do...and, there is a very small explanation at the end of this post...but i can't stand not showing you this first...
i played along with the OCL Design Team Sketch Challenge...here is what we had to work with...
and...my card...
i want to bite him! (that means kisses in my house, btw!)...'Drake the Dragon' by Our Craft Lounge...love him! the paper is Karen Foster 'Dragon Fable Paper'...they make for a great combination!
so, go play along at the OCL blog!!
OCL 'Drake the Dragon, Memento Tuxedo black ink, Walnut Stain Distress ink, Sparkly Fluff 'Platinum', Spellbinders dies, kraft cardstock, foam squares, misc embellishments
Copics: Blender, C1, C3, E53, E55, E59, R11, YG03, YG17, G85, G99, B91, B93, B97

okay...here is the personal part...
there are times in our lives where we are lost and broken...some people manage it all better than others...over the past several months there have been a lot of changes in my life, and there are more to come...i had to process it all, take some time to focus on my 'real life work', and find a 'new normal' for my life...all that being said, i am putting all the pieces back together and am very confident that the mosaic that God is creating is amazing and beautiful and exactly what he imagines for my life...
thank you for your patience, thank you for looking in on me, and thank you most of all for your love and support!!!

And whatever is transpiring in your life, as long as you're trusting in God's care & love, you ARE in the best of Hands. ;)

adorable card!
Yes, I understand. Right now my schedule is totally out of my hands or I would be blogging much more. :) But "to everything there is a season" and my stamp season will return.
take care!
